Action Learning was introduced to us by our lecturer Mr. Derek Coll on (6.02.2023).

Action Learning is an approach to problem solving that involves taking action and reflecting upon the result. This also helps to significantly improve the problem solving capability and simplifies the solutions developed by the team.

 

Ground Rules:

• Time allocated equally for everyone, 15 mins approximately, to reflect upon what they learned/did
• Attendance is expected to be above 80%
• Candidates should be putting in 8-9 hours every week on the module for the best output
• Be attentive and contribute

Zafir is the time-keeper and Rakesh will report on unforeseen circumstances such as strikes.

Aspects of Action Learning covered this week(6.02.2023)

• Look at various software such as Matlab, Solidworks, etc and choose the one that clicks
• Try making the designs without help from the LinkedIn Learning tutorials

 

Actions carried out that week:

• I was learning Solidworks 2D sketches like usual shapes like square, circle, and rectangles

• making solidworks model
• trying to make time for professional practice module

 

 

Zafir & Rakesh–Action for this week —(13.02.2023)

Work together as a team by using teams

 

Actions carried out that week:

• this week I was learning the how to convert 2D sketches to 3D using Extrude and Extrude Cut feature in solidworks
• improving the working pattern of organising my tasks in a calendar app and working accordingly, this helped me find some extra time to spend for this module.
• that time was really useful in practicing the solidwors model which I learned in the tutorial.
• I was updating my cv with the skills and work experience with I gained after all these years
• this week is I tried to maintain a similar sleeping time everyday to improve the sleep pattern and which actually helped me to be productive in my academic works.
• we were planning to work as a team.
